Walmart announces biggest-ever distribution center for groceries

Walmart has announced plans to build what will be its largest-ever distribution center for groceries.

The 720,000+ square-foot facility for fresh and frozen groceries in South Carolina’s Spartanburg County is set to open in 2024. Walmart says it will move double the amount of product than a traditional DC in addition to presenting new technology-focused job opportunities in the region.

The high-tech distribution center is part of a larger investment the retailer announced earlier this year to double down on the use of automation technology in its supply chain.
